The C919 single-aisle aircraft — No. 10101 — which made its maiden flight from the same airport on May 5, took off at 7:22am, returning at 10:08am.

It flew north to Chongming Island and over Nantong in neighboring Jiangsu Province and circled for a while over Jiangsu before heading for home, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.

Its flying time of 2 hours and 46 minutes was double that of its maiden flight, COMAC said.

“Frequent test flights will be carried out on the jet at the Pudong airport,” Cai said.

After these tests, the aircraft will be moved to Yanliang in northwest Shaanxi Province for more, he said.

The aircraft rolled off the assembly line in Shanghai in November 2015, a milestone for the nation’s entry into the global aviation market as a strong competitor.

COMAC has so far secured 730 orders from 27 foreign and domestic customers, including national carrier Air China and leasing company GE Capital Aviation Service.

Overseas orders, which account for about 10 percent of the total, include Germany’s PuRen Airlines and Thailand’s City Airways, as well as carriers from Asia-Pacific and Africa. The number of orders increased by about 200 after the success of the plane’s maiden flight, COMAC said.

BEIJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- China will raise the retail prices of gasoline and diesel from Saturday, the country's top economic planner announced Friday.

This is the eighth increase this year. As international oil prices have increased, the retail prices of gasoline and diesel will rise by 210 yuan (about 32 U.S. dollars) and 195 yuan (about 29 U.S. dollars) per tonne, respectively, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

Under the current pricing mechanism, if international crude oil prices change by more than 50 yuan per tonne and remain at that level for 10 working days Johnny Townsend Womens Jersey , the prices of refined oil products such as gasoline and diesel in China are adjusted accordingly.

The NDRC has asked major Chinese oil companies, including China National Petroleum Corp., China Petrochemical Corp. and China National Offshore Oil Corp., to ensure stable supplies to the market.

Global crude prices rose marginally due to an expected increase in demand and falling production of OPEC, the NDRC said in a report.

The economic planner said it will closely monitor the effects of the current pricing mechanism and make changes in response to fluctuations in the global market.
